According to an arrest warrant, Mansfield police responded to a report of an unconscious child on February 18 at an apartment complex along Towne Crossing Boulevard.
Reed reportedly told police he and his daughter fell asleep on the couch and woke up to his sister alerting him that Naveah was unconscious and struggling to breathe.
Responding officers reportedly noticed the apartment appeared to be dirty and had a strong odor of marijuana.
An officer found several blue and white pills, including a blue pill described as an M30 pill on the floor.
Later tests confirmed it contained fentanyl.
Officers also found other drug paraphernalia, including baggies and a syringe on a coffee table, as well as a loaded gun on a kitchen cabinet, according to the document.
Reed’s male roommate reportedly told police the child wandered into his upstairs room at about 8 p.m. and he noticed she had ‘powder all over her.’
The witness discovered her father was asleep on the couch.
Police say Reed’s sister, Jamie Popovic, who also lives in the apartment, lied about what time she arrived home to find the girl in trouble.
At some point, all three adults realized the girl was suffering from a possible drug overdose and failed to call 911, according to the arrest warrants.
Reed allegedly warned his roommate and his sister to not call police fearing CPS involvement and that he ‘would lose his kids.’
Instead, police say, they attempted to induce vomiting, they put ice on the child’s face and Reed attempted to have the ‘overdose-reversal drug Naloxne (sic) delivered via a Door Dash’ app.
Police say during their investigation of Google searches and other evidence, approximately two hours passed without 911 being called.
Reed later told police he called 911 when his daughter stopped breathing.
It was too late.
